"A black Volvo saloon waits at his front gate, its rear door open to receive him." The part "its rear door open to receive him." is baffling me. Would you explain it? First of all, I think it is an informal construction. Should not it be "its rear door is open to receive him."? Why does the sentence ignore/neglect the helping verb is?
